1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying: 'Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?'
Ziph tami ni Gibeah kho a tho teh, Sawl koevah Devit teh Hakhilah mon Hakhilah kho dawk a kâhro nahoehmaw, atipouh.
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Hahoi, Sawl a thaw teh, a rawi e Isarelnaw tami 300 touh a hrawi teh, Ziph ram koelah Devit tawng hane a cei awh.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Sawl teh Jeshimon ram Hakhilah mon dawk a roe. Hatei, Devit teh kahrawngum vah ao teh, Sawl ni na tawng hanelah kahrawng vah a tho tie hah a panue.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty.
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni katuetkungnaw a patoun teh Sawl a tho katang tie hah a panue.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the barricade, and the people pitched round about him.
Devit ni a thaw teh, Sawl tungpupnae koevah a cei. Devit ni Sawl hoi ransanaw kaukkung Ner capa Abner a inae hah a hmu. Sawl teh pupim lungui vah a i teh rangleng ransanaw ni a kalup.
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying: 'Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?' And Abishai said: 'I will go down with thee.'
Devit ni Hit tami Ahimelek hoi Joab e nawngha Zeruiah capa Abisai koevah, Sawl roenae koe apimaw kai koe ka kâbang han telah a pacei navah, Abisai ni nang koe kai ka kâbang han atipouh.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the barricade, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.
Devit hoi Abisai teh Sawl tinaw onae koe tangmin vah a cei roi, khenhaw! Sawl te pupim lungui vah a i, a lû koevah tahroe hah talai dawk a thoe sak teh, Abner hoi ransanaw teh a tengpam vah a i awh.
8 Then said Abishai to David: 'God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day; now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time.'
Abisai ni Devit koevah, sahnin vah Cathut ni na tarannaw teh na kut dawk na poe toe. Hatdawkvah, na san ni tahroe hah talai dawk vaitahoi na takho sak haw, vai hni touh ka takho mahoeh atipouh.
9 And David said to Abishai: 'Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?'
Hateiteh, Devit ni Abisai koe hawi hoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah kut a tha teh, ngaithoum e tami apimaw kaawm boi telah atipouh.
10 And David said: 'As the LORD liveth, nay, but the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle, and be swept away.
Hothloilah, Devit ni BAWIPA a hring e patetlah BAWIPA a ma ni a hem han doeh. Hoehpawiteh, a duenae hnin a pha han doeh. Hoehpawiteh taran tuknae koe cet vaiteh a due han doeh.
11 The LORD forbid it me, that I should put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water and let us go.'
BAWIPA ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah ka kut ka pho hane teh, BAWIPA ni na pasoung hoeh. Hatei, a lû koe e tahroe hoi tuium teh la vaiteh cet leih sei atipouh.
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they got them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
Hahoi teh, Devit ni Sawl e lû koe kaawm e tahroe hoi tuium hah a la teh a cei. Apinihai hmawt hoeh, ahnimanaw pueng teh mat a i awh dawkvah, api buet touh hai a kâhlaw hoeh dawkvah,
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them.
Devit teh kakaw e a yawn namran lah a cei teh, kahlat e monruisom vah a kangdue.
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying: 'Answerest thou not, Abner?' Then Abner answered and said: 'Who art thou that criest to the king?'
Devit ni tamihupui hoi Ner capa Abner hah a oung teh, Abner na pato mahoeh maw atipouh. Hahoi Abner ni siangpahrang ka oung ngam e tami api nang maw atipouh.
15 And David said to Abner: 'Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
Devit ni Abner hanelah na tongpa hoeh maw. Isarelnaw e rahak vah nang patetlah e apimaw kaawm. Bangkongmaw siangpahrang na bawipa hah na ring thai hoeh maw. Tangmin vah tami buet touh ni siangpahrang na bawipa thei hanelah a tho toe.
16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye deserve to die, because ye have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now, see, where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.'
Na sak e hno hawihoeh. Bawipa a hring e patetlah Bawipa ni satui awi e na bawipa hah kahawicalah na ring hoeh dawkvah, due hanelah na kamcu. Siangpahrang lû koe e tahroe hoi tuium hah nâmaw ao khenhaw! atipouh.
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said: 'Is this thy voice, my son David?' And David said: 'It is my voice, my lord, O king.'
Sawl ni Devit e lawk a thai navah, ka thai e lawk he ka capa Devit nange lawk maw atipouh navah, Devit ni oe kaie lawk doeh ka bawipa atipouh.
18 And he said: 'Wherefore doth my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?
Bangkongmaw ka bawipa ni a san hah a pâlei. Bangmaw ka sak. Bangmaw ka kut dawk yonnae kaawm.
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be the LORD that hath stirred thee up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of the LORD, saying: Go, serve other gods.
Hatdawkvah siangpahrang ka bawipa na sanpa e lawk he thai haw. Kai na taran hanelah na lung tha kaawmsakkung hah Bawipa lah awm pawiteh, thuengnae heh coe naseh. Hateiteh, tami lah awm pawiteh, Bawipa hmalah thoebo naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni cet lawih, alouke cathutnaw e thaw hah tawk lawih telah ati awh teh, Bawipa e râw talai dawk o hoeh nahanelah sahnin na pâlei awh toe hei.
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.'
Hatdawkvah, ka thipaling teh Bawipa ni hmu hoeh e talai dawk lawng naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamuem tawng hanelah mon dawk kâva e patetlah Isarel siangpahrang teh uihli tawng hanelah a kâva atipouh.
21 Then said Saul: 'I have sinned; return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool and erred exceedingly.'
Sawl ni ka payon toe ka capa Devit bout ban leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na mithmu vah ka hringnae he aphu o poung dawkvah thoe bout na bo mahoeh toe. Khenhaw! pathunae hno ka sak teh ka payon toe ati.
22 And David answered and said: 'Behold the king's spear! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it.
Devit ni oe ka bawipa na tahroe khenhaw! na thoundoun buet touh koe bout lat sak atipouh.
23 And the LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; forasmuch as the LORD delivered thee into my hand to-day, and I would not put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed.
BAWIPA ni tami pueng amamae tahroe hoi yuemkamcunae dawk aphu poe naseh. Sahnin vah Bawipa ni nang hah ka kut dawk na poe, hateiteh Bawipa ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah kut ka tha mahoeh atipouh.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation.'
Khenhaw! sahnin vah na hringnae teh ka mithmu vah aphu o e patetlah Bawipa ni ka hringnae hah aphu awm sak naseh. Runae pueng thung hoi na rungngang naseh atipouh.
25 Then Saul said to David: 'Blessed be thou, my son David; thou shalt both do mightily, and shalt surely prevail.' So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Sawl ni Devit koevah, ka capa Devit, hawinae awm seh. Na sak e hno puengpa dawk tânae na hmawt naseh, telah a dei pouh hnukkhu, Devit teh a ban, Sawl hai a ma onae koe a ban van.
